After distilling your crude methyl benzoate, you set aside 4.83 grams of the purified ester. You then prepare the grignard reage

nt ( phenylmagnesium bromide ) by reacting 2.3 grams of magnesium with 9.45 ml of bromobenzene. You add the 4.83 grams of methyl benzoate to the freshly prepared grignard reagent to form an addition product. Finally, after hydrolyzing the grignard addition product, you obtain 5 grams of the final product, triphenyl carbinol. What is the percent yield of triphenyl carbinol?

Answer:

95.6 %

Explanation:

For this question, we will have <u>2 reactions</u>, the formation of the <u>grignard reagent</u> and the <u>formation of the alcohol</u>. The first step then is the calculation of the <u>maximum amount</u> of the grignard reagent. For this, we have to convert the grams to moles and check the smallest value. To do this we have to take into account the <u>following conversion ratios</u>:

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Molar mass of phenylmagnesium bromide (C_6H_5Br)= 157 g/mol

Density of bromobenzene= 1.5 g/mL

Molar ratio between Mg and  C_6H_5Br= 1:1

2.3~g~Mg\frac{1~mol~Mg}{24~g~Mg}=0.096~mol~Mg

9.45~mL~\frac{1g}{1.5mL}\frac{1~mol~C_6H_5Br}{157~g}=0.0402~mol~C_6H_5Br

The smallest value is the mol of bromobenzene therefore <u>0.0402 mol</u> of phenylmagnesium bromide would be produced.

The next step is repite the same steps for the reaction of <u>formation of the alcohol</u>. Therefore we have to find the moles of methyl benzoate, so:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate: 136.14 g/mol

4.83~g~\frac{1~mol}{136.14~g}=0.35~mol

The we have to <u>divide by the coefficient</u> of each reactive in the balance reaction. So:

\frac{0.35~mol}{1}=0.35

\frac{0.0402~mol}{2}=0.0201

Therefore the <u>limiting reagent</u> would be the phenylmagnesium bromide. Now, the <u>molar ratio</u> between the phenylmagnesium bromide and triphenyl carbinol is <u>2:1</u>, so the amount of alcohol produced is 0.0201 mol triphenyl carbinol. The next step is the conversion from mol to <u>grams of triphenyl carbinol</u>:

Molar mass of triphenyl carbinol= 260.33 g/mol

0.0201~mol\frac{260.33~g}{1~mol}=5.23~g~triphenyl carbinol

Finally, we have to <u>divide</u> the obtanied solid by the calculated one:

Percentage=\frac{5}{5.23}*100=95.6\%

Yuri [45]
When cooled by liquid nitrogen, the balloon shrinks (not as much as the air-filled balloon) and it sinks down on the table. When heating up, the balloon slowly rises and flies up in the air again. Explanation 1: The volume of the balloon decreases by the low temperature, because the gas inside is cooled down.

What is the volume of 1.9 moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) at standard temperature and pressure (STP)?
masya89 [10]
Considering ideal gas behavior, the volume of 1 mol of gas at STP is 22.4 L; then the volume occupied by 1.9 moles is 1.9mol*22.4L/mol = 42. 6 L.

When aqueous solutions of NH4OH(aq) and CuCl2(aq) are mixed, the products are NH4Cl(aq) and Cu(OH)2(s). What is the net ionic eq
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation usually shows the main ionic reaction that goes in the system. The other ions that do not participate in this net ionic equation are called spectator ions. Spectator ions do not participate in the main reaction occurring in the system.

The net ionic equation quite often result in the formation of a solid precipitate in the system such as Cu(OH)2.

The net ionic equation for this reaction is;

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

_____ bonds are formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 &gt; 2.0. Give two examples:
34kurt

<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

An  electronegativity of an atom is affected by

  • The atomic number of the atom
  • Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus

1. In case the  electronegativity difference (which is denoted by  ΔEN) is less than 0.5  then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent. </u>

2. In case  the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent </u>

3. In case  the ΔEN is more /greater  than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>

<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>

  • The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
  • Another example is the formation of NaCl from  sodium (Na),which is  a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a  nonmetal
